To the family in Iowa, praying for you all during this very sorrowful time. Carl was a kind man and welcomed me with open arms into the family when I married Kevvin (which meant a lot to me). He will be missed. May his soul rest in peace with his dearly beloved mother Ms. Nadine Abbott.

To Landy & Kevvin;
I want to extend my sincere Condolences to you and your direct family. Carl and I go back to the old school days during (1960's +) when Cedar Rapids was one of his landing zones. Carl is now in a better place & to never be forgotten as one who traveled on this earth a short time to eventually be with the Lord!
May he rest in peace.
Your Unc in Az
